Transcript:

Edd: Ahh, nothing like an electric fan on a hot day.

Friend: Err, Edd, I don't think we should be using this much electricity.

Edd: What do you mean?

Friend: Well, if we keep using this much electricity then the power plants that provide it will have to work overtime and that will result in the excretion of excessive amounts of greenhouse gases that will travel to the polar ice caps and boil and melt them and cause the sea levels to rise which will ultimately result in extreme weather changes, no doubt causing the Earth to both overheat and flood simultaneously.

Friend: That's right, we do need to seriously consider cutting back on our electricity usage, even if it's just something small like turning stuff off completely before we go to bed, because if we don't we are all going to die.

Man: Well, that was the lamest thing I've ever seen, and that rainbow thing was so ... wait, is that a giant wave?

So, time to say smth about the video. I turn off all electrical devices when I don't need them, except the mobile charger because I need it every minute. I know a lot about climate changes. And it was our fault that animals on arctic can't live normally because of global warming. People have created a lot of youth groups and councils, to help the animals survive. Now, there are more extinct species: polar bears. More and more animals die because their changed climate is not eligible for their life.
